Have a Self-Care Study Break with These HC Approved Products

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

Remote learning has been an adjustment for all of us, but the products in the Her Campus Study From Home Care Package surely make it easier! Let’s take a look at the products I received in my box this week and how they can help your self-care routine when you aren’t studying.

Garnier Original and Waterproof Micellar Cleansing Water + Foaming Gel Cleanser

Garnier is actually the creator of America’s #1 Micellar Water, which makes sense since it works for all skin types. The products they included are certainly essential to any skincare routine, so if you haven’t tried it yet you should give these products a go!

Both micellar cleansing waters (original and waterproof) do it all; removing makeup while also lifting dirt and oil. They do this easily without you having to scrub really hard, which is also a huge plus!

The foaming gel cleanser is actually a product I have tried before and really enjoy! Sometimes the harsher cleansers I use on my combination skin can cause little flare ups of sensitivity from time to time. So I usually use this when that happens since it contains no oil, alcohol, or fragrance. If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a new cleanser, I would definitely give this one a try!

RXBAR Blueberry Protein Bar

RXBARs have everything you could look for in a protein bar. It’s convenient, wholesome, and delicious! Not only that, but it’s nutritious too; containing simple ingredients like egg whites, fruits, and nuts while also having no artificial flavors or colors. The Blueberry flavor is delicious too! I highly recommend giving these a try if you’re looking for a new study break snack.

AZO Cycle Care and Comfort™

Just because we’re home now doesn’t mean periods go away. No need to worry though, because that’s what AZO Cycle Care and Comfort is for. These daily supplements help you get relief from many symptoms including breast tenderness, bloating, cramping, and irritability. It also is made of natural ingredients like Chaste Tree Berry Extract, Zinc, and Niacinamide to help promote clear skin and hormonal health. I’m super excited to see if these improve my symptoms during my next cycle and if they do I’ll surely be using them from now on!

Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion Waterproof Masscara

Every girl needs a waterproof mascara for the upcoming summer months, which is why I was so excited to get Lash Blast Fusion from Covergirl! This mascara is cool because it has a super-volumizing fiber stretch formula with an oversized brush. This way you can coat every lash to get amazing results like those in the photo above! From selfies to days at the pool, I can’t wait to make this mascara part of my makeup routine!

Bumble Compact Mirror + Water Bottle

If you haven’t heard of Bumble, I highly reccomend giving it a download. It’s the ‘women-first move’ socializing app that allows you to connect with people for love, friendship and business. Not to mention, if you’ve been feeling a bit lonely during quarantine, it gives you the chance to meet new people digitally!

I got the compact mirror in my box and it is such nice quality, having a really nice weight to it. Although I’m highly jealous of those who got the water bottle, I am certainly going to put the mirror in my purse so I can use it once we can go out and about again! Perhaps I’ll even use it when meeting up with people in the Bumble community! Who knows, but definitely give Bumble a download to make some new connections!

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clusters Pore Clearing Clay Mask

The final product is one everyone needs; a facemask. This one from Innisfree stands out from the rest since it’s a wash off clay mask made of Walnut Shell Powder and Jeju Volcanic Clusters™ to help remove dead skin and draw excess oils from pores. It works on skin from normal to oily and leaves it feeling smoother and cleaner with smaller pores. Once my finals are over, I know I’m going to celebrate by using this facemask to sit back and do some much needed self-care!

I hope you enjoyed taking a look at the things in the Her Campus Study From Home Care Package!

You got this!
